……

The next day.

At Meng Dehai's home.

Gao Qilin brought Chen Shuting and Meng Yu to the Meng family home.

Meng Dehai and Aunt Cui were both incredibly hospitable, not to mention that they treated Chen Shuting very politely, especially out of respect for their daughter and Gao Qilin.

Aunt Cui pulled Chen Shuting to sit on the sofa and said with a smile, "You must be Shuting?"

“When Meng Yu called us, she mentioned that her sister Shu Ting was very kind to her. I thought to myself, this child must have caused you a lot of worry, right?”

Chen Shuting smiled gracefully.

"Aunt Cui is joking. Meng Yu is not as immature as you say."

"She also often helps me take care of the children at home."

As she spoke, Chen Shuting took out three red envelopes from her pocket and stuffed them into Aunt Cui's hand: "By the way, Aunt Cui."

"My sister Chengcheng is almost seven months pregnant now, and it's really inconvenient for her to come over with such a big belly. This is a small token of my appreciation from Chengcheng and Qilin, which we're giving to you during the New Year."

Aunt Cui immediately declined, saying, "You silly child!"

"We, as your elders, haven't even given it to you yet, why are you..."

(The king's) words had not yet been finished.

Meng Yu reached out her small hands and took the red envelope directly from Chen Shuting's hand, saying sweetly, "Oh my god, why are you being so polite with my sister Shuting? If you don't want to accept it, I'll accept it for you!"

Aunt Cui was about to scold Meng Yu when Chen Shuting took her arm and started chatting about other things.

Chen Shuting learned how to conduct herself from Chen Tai since she was a child, and her ability to say the right thing to the right person is superb.

With just a few words, Aunt Cui was able to keep smiling.

Seeing this, Meng Yu gestured with her chin in the direction of the two of them and said to Gao Qilin, "See? I told you my mom would definitely like Sister Shuting, right?"

Gao Qilin chuckled and patted Meng Yu's hair: "Right, right, who can predict the future like our great reporter Meng?"

As he spoke, Gao Qilin said in a low voice, "I've ordered the hotel to deliver the food, so don't let your mother cook?"

Meng Yu quickly nodded: "Okay!"

Chapter 203 Returning to Jinghai, First Day Back to Work

After a while.

While Aunt Cui was still chatting enthusiastically with Chen Shuting, Meng Yu opened the security door and found the hotel's deliveryman standing at the door.

Meng Dehai asked with some doubt, "Qilin, is that who you called him?"

Gao Qilin smiled helplessly: "Aunt Cui and Shu Ting are having a lively chat, how can we interrupt them?"

"It's just a casual meal anyway, we can just order it delivered from outside."

As Gao Qilin finished speaking.

Aunt Cui then came to her senses, slapped her forehead, and walked over.

"Oh dear, look at my brain! I was so busy chatting with Shuting that I didn't even sit down after I finished chopping the vegetables..."

Gao Qilin smiled and put his hand on Aunt Cui's shoulder, then quickly said, "Aunt Cui, we'll have a chance to try your cooking anytime. It's our first time meeting Shu Ting today, so please don't bother."

"Yes."

As Chen Shuting smiled and took the packed food from outside, she said, "Besides, Aunt Cui, I couldn't just stand by and watch you cook. I had to go into the kitchen with you. Consider it taking care of me."

Aunt Cui then gave up.

……

Not long after.

After the group finished their meal at the Meng family's house, Meng Dehai, as usual, invited Gao Qilin to the study.

Anyway, Gao Qilin always takes this route whenever he comes to the Meng family.

Meng Yu was already used to this, and chatted with Chen Shuting while keeping her mother company.

And in the study at this moment.

Gao Qilin and Meng Dehai sat facing each other. Meng Dehai poured tea for each of them and then asked, "Qilin, what are the plans for the construction of the Jinghai Expressway after the New Year?"

Gao Qilin smiled faintly.

After all, just yesterday, Old Huang asked a similar question!

So Gao Qilin quickly chose his words and slowly said, "Uncle Meng, the Gao family has now acquired plot 061 in Qinghua District. After the New Year, I plan to bypass the land occupied by Shanshui Group and start demolition work directly..."

……

As Gao Qilin finished speaking.

A look of shock appeared on Meng Dehai's face.

The expression on his face was one of utter astonishment!

After a long pause, Meng Dehai finally came to his senses and subconsciously asked, "Qilin, are you... are you telling the truth?"

At this moment.

Meng Dehai's voice trembled slightly.

after all.

Acquiring an entire plot of land (cabj) requires a significant amount of money and connections.

At the very least, it has to be done through our own side.

I was initially curious that the 061 plot in Qinghua District suddenly had an owner other than Shanshui Group.

Who could it be?

But now.

The mystery has now been solved.

But the answer still shocked Meng Dehai!

Gao Qilin actually acquired the land in Qinghua District without even knowing it!

All of a sudden.

Meng Dehai couldn't help but gasp, then looked at Gao Qilin across from him with a strange expression and slowly said, "Qilin."

"When did you buy this plot of land? I had no idea."

After saying that, Meng Dehai shook his head helplessly: "I've really wasted my time as the district head of Qinghua District..."

Gao Qilin lowered his head and smiled, "Uncle Meng is joking."

"It is a great blessing for the people of Qinghua District to have a district head like you."

"As for how the land was acquired..."

Gao Qilin's expression remained unchanged; he simply smiled faintly and said, "To carry out such a move without the knowledge of the Shanshui Group, one must at least find some connections."

"You won't blame me, will you?"

As he spoke, Gao Qilin clasped his hands together, revealing a pleading expression.

A look of helplessness immediately appeared on Meng Dehai's face.

"Qilin, why are you being so polite?"

"I'm overjoyed that you have this ability."

As Meng Dehai spoke, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

after all.

Gao Qilin's relationships are far more complex than they appear on the surface.

On the surface, Gao Qilin was on his and Huang Lao's side.

But secretly...

All Meng Dehai knew was that Gao Qilin came from a military background and had connections that Meng Dehai was unaware of.

Simultaneously.
